Chapter 992: Gun Pickup

The special operations squad of the Northwest Field Army, which penetrated deep into the enemy's territory, launched attacks on the targets of various tribes almost simultaneously before the general offensive was launched. The big tents of the Tushetu Khan, Zasaktu Khan, and Chechen Khan were all attacked by the special operations teams of the Northwest Field Army, and the losses were extremely heavy.

At present, the cavalry of the young tribes of the Tushetu Khan, the Zasaktu Khan, and the Chechen Khan are all gathered around the big tents of each department, and after the big tents were attacked, there was a great chaos.

At this time, the main forces of the various corps have all been interspersed in place and are rapidly deploying. Countless Far Eastern cavalry, with the assistance of the airboat troops, were overwhelmingly sprinkled out, and they seized the time to unfold.

Zhao Lianhe rode on a war horse, holding the reins stiffly with both hands, and galloped across the grassland with the cavalry of the brigade. At this time, his heart was very nervous. Although the newly built cavalry division of the Northwest Field Army has been training for a year, this campaign is the first actual combat experienced since the formation of the unit.

The Ningxia border army like Zhao Lianhe had also seen battles with the Beiyu back then, but how could they have experienced such a large-scale battle. Even if Ming Chengzu made several expeditions to Mobei back then, it was not as large as it is today.

Thousands of horses galloped on the vast Mobei grassland, and being in such an environment made Zhao Lianhe extremely excited. At this time, his blood was boiling. The long distance of several days in a row had left him exhausted, but now he did not feel the slightest tiredness. There was a wave of excitement in his heart, and he really wanted to find a place to vent.

"Didi...... Tick ......"

There was a rush of military trumpets ahead, and Zhao Lianhe knew that the battle was about to begin. He hurriedly changed to a war horse, then drew his saber, and his body curled up slightly on the war horse. And he sped up and followed the galloping horse team. Galloped forward at a high speed.

In the distance was a large area of dense yurts, and it was early in the morning, and the Mongolian tribes in front of them were still emitting wisps of cooking smoke. The young and strong of the tribe have been requisitioned and transferred, and now only the old and weak women and children remain. The tribe is full of children running around, and there are many hard-working Mongolian women who are busy outside their yurts.

When the cavalry of the Far Eastern Army rushed out of the tribe. The tribal cavalry who was in charge of guarding the periphery of the tribe found out and hurriedly blew the horn.

"Uh......h Woo......"

A desolate sound of bull's horns came, and the Mongolian tribe suddenly became chaotic. The elderly, the women, and the half-grown children all hunched their horses and prepared to defend themselves against the invaders.

But when they saw the dense cavalry on the opposite side, they were all stupid. Although without the slightest hesitation, he turned his horse's head and abandoned everything in the tribe. Began to run around. But now it was too late to escape, and it was swallowed up by countless Far Eastern Iron Cavalry in an instant.

"Bang bang...... Bang bang ......"

A dense burst of gunfire rang out like bursting beans, and the Mongolian herdsmen who were running in all directions in front of them were hit and fell to the ground, and they were trampled by the dense war horses in an instant.

Zhao Lianhe took advantage of the high-speed galloping speed of the war horse, took the cavalry horse sword, and swept the neck of a Mongolian herdsman. Knock him off his horse. After rushing less than five hundred meters, he had already killed two people in succession. It's all old people and half-grown children who are running away in a hurry.

The tribe was very large, but defenseless, and dense yurts spread all over the grassland, full of old people, women and children running around, screaming and crying loudly.

Zhao Lianhe controlled the war horse, galloping back and forth between the yurts. A figure suddenly ran out in front of him, and with a "bang", he was hit by the war horse he was riding and flew out, and fell the ground in the distance.

This is a Mongolian girl, about 10 years old. The galloping war horse, with a speed and a weight of several hundred kilograms, crashed into her body, and the consequences can be imagined.

Zhao Lianhe couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, but he was in a dense horse team, and he couldn't stop at all, watching his war horse step on the Mongolian girl's body, and then more war horses roared past. After the horse team passed, Zhao Lianhe glanced back, and on the ground in the distance, there was only a puddle of flesh and blood left.

The entire Mongol tribe was filled with the sound of killing, mixed with terrible screams and howls. The Eastern Army strictly ordered all units not to delay their fighters, and to attack quickly and fiercely, and strive to annihilate the opponent's elite as quickly as possible to prevent the enemy from fleeing.

Therefore, the troops of the newly built cavalry division quickly swept through the tribe and then continued the attack. Annihilated the few resistance forces of this tribe, the nomadic detachments that arrived later would carefully clean the battlefield.

The airboat units in the air are constantly correcting the offensive routes of the attacking troops from all directions, and are always in control of the situation on the battlefield, and the young and strong elite cavalry of the various units gathered in the Zasaktu Khan's department, the Tushetu Khan department, and the Chechen Khan department have been completely disorganized.

The special operations team successfully carried out the decapitation tactic, so that all units in Mobei lost their unified command, and all units were scattered and fled for their lives, and they were unable to organize effective resistance at all. The cavalry of the Far Eastern Army, under the command of the airboat unit, successfully completed the encirclement of the elite tribal cavalry of each department.

A large number of cavalry of various tribes in Mobei Mongolia were rushed to pieces by the cavalry assault troops of the Far Eastern Army from all directions, and were completely divided and surrounded in a small area.

In the face of the final madness of the Mongolian tribal cavalry, the cavalry units of the Far Eastern Army were equipped with a large number of machine-gun carriages, that is, the "gun cards" that shone during the previous Soviet and Russian civil wars.

Each machine gun carriage is towed by four horses and equipped with a four-wheeled field carriage equipped with a water-cooled heavy machine gun, which can quickly follow the cavalry in a surprise attack.

The "Gun Catch" is highly mobile and can be quickly put into battle, and the time to change from battle to battle is extremely fast, so there is basically no preparation work, just turn the horse's head. Moreover, it is agitated and flexible, it can cover the fire of the assault troops during the attack, and it can also establish dense machine-gun positions when defending, which is very widely used.

Generally, each machine-gun carriage company is equipped with four to six "gun trucks", and when the enemy brigade cavalry is discovered, it immediately turns around and forms a machine-gun position in a row to block the enemy's cavalry group. In the face of the frantic strafing of several heavy machine guns, countless Mongolian tribal cavalry fell in a dense rain of bullets.

In this battle, a large number of "gun cards" equipped by the Northwest Field Army showed an extremely ferocious side, and at least most of all the Mongolian cavalry killed in battle were the results of these machine gun carriages. (To be continued.) )
